Veterinary Hygiene Service

The Veterinary Hygiene Service removes dead animals, takes them to the cadaver collection point, and arranges for their harmless destruction.

This service is extremely important in terms of preventing the spread of disease to both animals and humans, as it removes the source of potential contamination. It is also important from the point of view of environmental protection, since removing dead animals helps eliminate water, soil and feed contamination.

Ordering removal

Phone numbers of National Veterinary Institute (NVI) units where you can arrange removal of animal carcasses and remains from slaughter at home for your own use.

The VHS service is operating every weekday from 7am to 3pm. Outside the working hours, there is a constant preparedness for emergency removal of fallen stock in cases of suspected infectious disease and obstruction of traffic on national categorized roads.
